S-STEM: Lehman College Mentoring and Scholarship Program

雷曼学院计算机科学和数学奖学金计划旨在保留数学和计算机相关领域中代表性不足的少数民族和女性。该计划有四个关键组成部分：通过奖学金和设备提供资金；建议和指导；职业规划;建立一个学者社区。奖学金获得者将获得专业发展和职业规划方面的支持，强调协作和沟通技巧，以便在工作场所取得成功。该计划培育了一个积极的学习社区，其中包括已经毕业并进入劳动力市场的奖学金获得者。该项目基于对STEM领域中代表性不足的少数民族的招聘和保留的研究。该项目鼓励女性和代表性不足的群体成员完成计算机科学和数学专业，并加入STEM劳动力队伍。该项目收集的数据将添加到描述在STEM学位项目中招募和留住女性和少数族裔的成功方法的文献中。

The Lehman College Computer Science and Mathematics Scholarship Program is designed to retain under-represented minorities and women in mathematics and computer-related fields. The program has four key components: funding through scholarships and equipment; advising and mentoring; career planning; and building a community of scholars. Scholarship recipients receive support for professional development and career planning which emphasizes collaboration and communication skills for success in the workplace. The program nurtures an active learning community which includes scholarship recipients who have graduated and entered the workforce.This project is based on research on the recruiting and retention of under-represented minorities in STEM fields. The project encourages women and members of under-represented groups to complete computer science and mathematics majors and to join the STEM workforce. Data collected by the project will add to the body of literature which describes successful approaches to recruiting and retaining women and minorities in STEM degree programs.
